The handbook's sections were agent-lifecycle, integrations, swarm, tools,
trust-boundary and web-ui, which do not follow how the system is built, so a
reader could not tell which layer a page is about. Its pages now sit in
swarm/, hives/ and agents/, with the accounts an agent can hold outside the
system in external-accounts/.
- swarm/: forge, matrix and the knowledge repo join the swarm pages, and so
does the swarmctl reference.
- hives/: the dashboard, hivectl and its reference, and the operator/agent
boundary, with a README that takes over the old web-ui and tools pages.
- agents/: the roster, persistence, config changes, the agent's own web page
(was web-ui/agent) and the security model, with a README.
- external-accounts/: GitHub and GitLab.
Pages are moved whole; none is split yet. Every reference follows: relative
links in the docs, `docs/2-handbook/...` paths in code comments, the nix
checks that regenerate the CLI references and the ignore list, and docs/README.md,
whose handbook section is now by layer.
Every docs directory moves under 1-getting-started, 2-handbook,
4-implementation or 5-project; the options reference (section 3) comes from
the website and has no directory here. trust-boundary stays whole under the
handbook for now. web-ui, swarm and tools split between handbook and
implementation, and the command-line references move to
2-handbook/reference. Links, path references in code and nix, and the docs
index follow the moves; no page content changes.
The page's composer (its input, slash commands and completion), POST /send in
hive-agent, the OperatorMsg request of the agent socket and its handler in
hive-c0re, and the broker-error helper only the send route used are deleted:
writing to an agent is the swarm UI's terminal. cancel turn, new session and
log out stay in the state badge's menu; POST /api/compact stays, with nothing
on the page calling it. The request-line limit keeps its size, and its comment
says it is a generous bound now. The docs describe the actions in place of the
footer and the prompt.
The per-agent /stats page read these from its sqlite; the swarm board had
none of them. hive-agent now counts the tools a turn called, the commands
bash tasks ran (from the bash daemon's own table, newer rows only),
reminders scheduled and delivered, and records the first turn of a fresh
session; the turns tab shows them, with fresh sessions per agent. Claude's
own export has no tool-call counter, so the docs no longer say it does.
The ST4TS page (/stats.html), GET /api/stats-hive, hive-c0re's hive_stats
rollup and the modelPrices option that only fed its cost estimate are
gone. Each agent's own /stats page and the turn-stats database it reads
are unchanged. Setting modelPrices now fails evaluation with a message
saying so.
The per-agent /stats page shows what the swarm agents board lacked about
turns. The new tab reads the turn count and duration the harness already
records: average duration, cache hit rate, tokens per turn, turns per hour
by agent and by model, duration percentiles, and the wake source and result
mixes. The duration histogram used the SDK default buckets, which stop at
10 s while a turn averages 24 s, so every p95 read a flat 10 s; it now has
explicit bounds up to an hour.
The hive no longer renders, locks or commits a meta flake. A rebuild's
MetaSync node picks the internal/meta commit and records it with the
hyperhive and config pins it holds; Prebuild, Swap and Create build from it,
and a head that does not pin the agent's current config fails the build
naming the agent. hive-priv's meta_rev is required.
Removed: meta.rs sync/lock/render, the manual-rebuild relock, the boot
sweep's hyperhive bump (MetaLock), the update-meta-inputs form and its
panel, MetaWindow, the hive's hyperhive_rev setting.
Kept: agent_set::refresh holds what sync_agents also did (topology.json, the
gateway's agent-socket map and nginx include), called from spawn, destroy,
rebuild and the migration.
The boot reconcile and the stale-start upgrade compare the agent's marker
with the hyperhive pin of internal/meta; the dashboard's deployed chip reads
the config marker a successful build writes.
Removes the HiveCopy hand-off: hive-c0re no longer writes each agent's
entry from swarm-agent-permissions.json into its runtime dir as
swarm-permissions.json, and the harness and subagent daemon no longer
read it. hive-c0re keeps the file as its own last read of the swarm for
the manage_root_agent mounts. Also removes permissions_import::pending(),
its only caller being the hand-off. No nix provisioned the copy, so no
nix option is removed and no tombstone is needed.
Rule after this change: until an agent's first successful read of its
key it holds no permissions (no execution, so no bash), and a subagent it
starts holds the same. After a read a set key wins, [] holds none and an
unset key is the default. A failed read keeps the last value, so an
unreachable queue at start keeps the agent closed until a read succeeds.
The harness logs once at warn that it starts closed.
Fixes#5315
A new swarm service, swarm-notify-router, in its own container on the host
that sets deploy.notify-router.enable (defaulted on by allSwarmServices where
the host has the router's store leaf, like the claude login minter).
- swarm-controller registers instance-wide hooks for `issues` +
`issue_assign` and `pull_request` + `pull_request_assign`, updates the
event list of a hook already registered with fewer (leaving its active flag as it is), and keeps each
verified body unchanged in the SWARM_EVENTS stream on
$SWARM.events.forge.<X-Forgejo-Event-Type>, deduped by X-Forgejo-Delivery.
A delivery the stream did not keep answers 503.
- swarm-notify-router drains its durable consumer on that stream, runs its
flows (source -> match -> todo sink, stored as nodes plus edges and checked
to be a tree) and queues each op on $SWARM.router.todo.<agent> in the
work-queue stream ROUTER_TODOS. Built-in flows: assigned, unassigned (same
key, rewritten) and closed (prefix-clears every holder's router todos). A
per-issue snapshot in its notify-router-state bucket holds the last
assignees and the todo holders; only agents in the agent-status bucket get
ops, and an assignee that was not one is left out of the snapshot so the
next assign event retries it. After the first event that must be retried,
the rest of the batch is nakked so redelivery keeps stream order.
- hive-agent creates its own durable consumer todo-<agent> and applies each
op to its todo store as subsystem `router`, then acks; a refused op stops
the rest of its batch the same way. The store's (subsystem, key) dedup
makes a redelivery harmless. New Todos::clear_prefix.
- swarm-nats-auth: a --notify-router-client arm; the controller may publish
$SWARM.events.forge.*; each agent gets three {agent} templates (extended
consumer create whose filter the server checks, MSG.NEXT, ACK).
- Credentials: a notify-router store leaf minted by glue-bao-tls, a
swarm-notify-router bao policy (read on its own queue client secret), an
authelia machine client, the secret publisher entry, a journal forwarder
route. No manual step.
hive-forge-notify is unchanged, so agents also still get forge's own
notifications.
Refs #5571
per #5471, verifiers stop depending on the queue client. the module is
store-free and needs only thiserror, so swarm-agent-verify gains one
dependency and loses its swarm-queue-client edge. consumers import it
from swarm_agent_verify; swarm-logs and swarm-metrics, whose only use of
swarm-queue-client was this module, drop that dependency, as does
swarm-logs-auth.
The agent's state/AGENTS.md stays the truth and its harness the only
writer. The harness mirrors the file into a new `agents-md` KV bucket,
and swarm-controller serves that copy, so a read works while the agent is
stopped. An edit is a unified diff plus the revision it was made against,
sent over the agent's existing control subject; the harness refuses a
stale base, applies the diff with `git apply --check` then `git apply` to
a temp copy, and writes the file only when both pass. Fixes#5519.
Files:
- swarm-queue-client/src/agents_md.rs, lib.rs: the bucket name and
subject, the mirror value, the `ApplyAgentsMd` control command and its
reply. `AgentControl` loses `Copy` because the new variant carries text.
- hive-agent/src/swarm_agents_md.rs, main.rs: the mirror task (start,
10 s re-read, immediate republish after an edit) and the apply.
- hive-agent/src/swarm_input.rs: the control loop answers both commands.
- hive-agent/src/claude_md_watch.rs: its AGENTS.md path is shared.
- hive-agent/Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock: sha1 for the git blob id (already in
the lock), tempfile moves from dev to runtime for the apply directory.
- swarm-controller/src/agents_md.rs, main.rs: the bucket reader and
GET/PUT /api/agents/{name}/agents-md; test AppState literals get the
new field.
- swarm-controller/src/agent_control.rs: the sink hands back raw reply
bytes, so each command decodes its own reply type.
- swarm-controller-api/src/agents_md.rs: the route bodies, shared with
swarmctl.
- swarmctl/src/agents_md.rs, main.rs: `swarmctl agent agents-md get|apply`.
- nix/host-modules/swarm-nats.nix, nix/module-eval/nats-authelia.nix: the
agent's publish grant on its own `$KV.agents-md.<agent>` key.
git needs no new package: agent containers enable programs.git, and the
harness unit's PATH includes /run/current-system/sw.
The rustls provider install is process setup every swarm binary runs, and
swarm-secret-client depends on no other swarm crate, so a binary that only
needs the provider and the store no longer links the queue client.
- swarm-secret-client/src/lib.rs, Cargo.toml: the function, its test, a
`//!` line on why it lives there, and the rustls dependency; rustls
`ring` as a dev-dependency feature, so the test builds both providers as
the binaries do and fails if the install is dropped.
- swarm-queue-client/src/lib.rs, Cargo.toml: function and test removed;
`connect()` calls the secret client's; rustls dropped (no other use),
swarm-secret-client added.
- swarm-metrics-auth/Cargo.toml: drop swarm-queue-client, whose only use
was the provider; the binary no longer links async-nats.
- swarm-logs-auth, swarm-logs, swarm-metrics, swarm-ci-metrics Cargo.toml:
the dep comment no longer names the provider (they keep the dep for
agent_token / the OIDC mint).
- Cargo.toml: the rustls comment names the provider's new home.
- 14 call sites (hive-agent, hive-c0re, hive-subagent-mcp x2,
swarm-builder, swarm-ci-metrics, swarm-claude-login, swarm-controller,
swarm-logs-auth, swarm-logs, swarm-metrics-auth, swarm-metrics,
swarm-nats-auth, swarm-review-classifier): one-line path change.
- Cargo.lock: the dependency edges above.
